    Winching bumper/winch combo opinions, recomendations?

    Hey Guys, I plan on replacing the OEM bumper on my 1998 TJ with an aftermarket that can mount a winch. My ride height is going to be stock with stock coils and bilstein shocks. The goal is to have a good, solid winch on a good bumper that is not too heavy and not too expensive. Also, the...

    What kind of winch is this?

    Can anyone enlighten me with what I’m working with here? I am a bit of a winch novice but this came on my LJ when I bought it. What I know is the brand is Mile Marker, and any info on the model has been removed from it. It seems to be a couple generations old as none of the current models...

    Locking Winch

    Hi All, So I have a fairly unique situation. Kids at my school love messing with my jeep. Not maliciously, but they like to screw with it sometimes. Only 81 kids go to my school so it isn't a big deal. For example, when I have no doors, they'll throw it in neutral and roll it away. I recently...

    Awesome and cheap waterproof winch cover

    Ordered this a few weeks ago for the Warn winch on my TJ: Waterproof Winch Cover For the price this is one hell of an awesome winch cover. I might add that it isn't made of neoprene and it is actually waterproof (which I've tested first hand in this crazy Portland rain). It's very flexible...

    Winching Without The Worry

    This is a fantastic article I found over on Expedition Portal, originally written by Bruce Elfstrom. I'm sharing this here, because I think this is a tremendous resource to all of us TJ owners.
